About the Workshop
If you’re interested in learning a different approach to street photography, to navigate the chaos of daily life with a camera, to move and dance with the world around you, then this workshop is for you. Ed will show you ways to approach this craft with vibrancy, nuance, and confidence. The “Abandoned Moment” is a term Ed Kashi coined at the beginning of his 40-year photography career. Based on his new book of the same name, he will share his work and photographic approaches while providing valuable feedback and guidance to grow your work. As with all of Ed’s workshops, the conversations will take on a broad range of topics from the philosophical to the technical.

“During the last five years as working as a freelance photojournalist, I have attended a wide variety of workshops and classes trying to improve my abilities as a visual storyteller. One thing I have learned is that being an outstanding photographer has no direct correlation to one’s ability to teach this skill to others. Some of the best creators in the world are also some of the most difficult to learn from.
No so with Ed Kashi, who is as gifted an educator as he is a documentarian. Patient, approachable, and warm, learning from Ed is more like being mentored by a talented friend. While some workshop environments can lead to stress and anxiety over one’s future, Ed finds a way to bring out the best in his students in a supportive way.
Make no mistake – a workshop with Ed is not a time to be lazy or self-congratulatory. He will push you to produce the best work that you’re capable of, and makes no illusions about the difficult nature of professional work as a photographer. Getting in a classroom with Ed will not be a walk in the park by any stretch of the imagination, but the challenge will be one that you can leave feeling good about.”
